Portfolio Update October 2016

Market continue to move side way and slide down in October. Poor corporate earning results in third quarter, bad manufacturing data and gloomy outlook weigh on the sentiment. Coming US election and continue weakness in Chinese economy also mean uncertainty for stock market.

STI closed at 2,813.17 when market closed on 31 October, down 55.6, or 1.94% from last month. My portfolio performed below the index. It's value dropped 2.09% in this month.

YTD STI is down 2.39%. My stock portfolio (net off fund injected this year) is down 1.16% without considering the dividend received. If dividends received will taken into consideration, portfolio return a 3.23% YTD

I was busy this month with my work and some other activities and did not do any trade this month. I received some shares from Global Investment Ltd this month via Scrip Dividend Scheme.

Total dividend received this month amounts to S$8,700.00, mainly from UT. With many companies already announced the dividend paid in November and December, I am quite certain that the total dividend received this year will be about the same as last year.

Portfolio Update 30 September 2016

September was a "boring" month for Singapore investors. The market traded range bound the whole month. The gloomy outlook on Singapore economy seems to weigh on investors' sentiment. Fed's decision not to raise interest this month, and some good news from oil producing countries to reduce production to support oil price gave some boost to the market but not much.

STI rose steadily in quiet market. As at 30 September, STI closed at  2,869.47, up 48.88 points or 1.73% from a month ago. My portfolio did not perform as well as the index. Its value only increased by 1.05% for the month, net of fresh fund injected. Fund invested this month, including re-investment from dividend was S$9,121.30.

This month, I bought some Cache Logistics Trust shares. I received some shares from Mapletree Logistics Trust, CapitaLand Retail China Trust as DBS via scrip dividend scheme. There was no sell trade.

Total dividend received in September was S$11,300. YTD dividend received was about the same as last year.
